Murder Unscripted: Another plea to end the WGA Strike
This video is great! “Writers, who needs ‘em?” intertitle at the end of the segment really brings the point home. Seeing how I am a self-confessed Law & Order junkie, it was a special treat to see Chris Noth getting back to his roots for this procedural spoof.
These parody videos are a welcomed side-effect of the strike. It’s not that surprising they’re being made, seeing how these writers have a ton of unwelcomed free time. I’m sure it wasn’t difficult to produce these things. All you need to do is round up some actors and use any basic video camera. You could even take one of those hard disk camcorders and easily hook it up to a computer to save the footage, no dv tapes needed at all. Plus, since it’s already on your computer, it would be pretty simple to edit it together and put in those hilarious intertitles to further outline your message. The segments are simple yet creative, and it’s always good to use comedy to bolster your message.
There are all different kinds of satirical strike videos nowadays as the strike persists. Luckily most of them have been aggregated on the United Hollywood site.

[...] I do love those video parodies on the strike and am sorta sad to see them go. But I’d much rather see quality television shows again instead of all this reality tv crap. Come to think of it, since they technically still have time on their hands where are the video responses from the writer’s? They obviously have access to the latest camcorders, so where’s their personal response? Also, isn’t it kinda suspicious that the producers get to break the story of the strike being over before the WGA has even signed anything. But seeing how it’s the producers who own parts of the mainstream media, guess it makes sense.
